funny coz I seem to have a similar problem on my SEAT ALTEA 07 1.9TDi. First about a month ago the interior light fuse went 7.5 brown one and I replaced that a few weeks ago. Then it went about a day or 2 after. replaced it and that wnet again. So I replaced it with a 15 amp fuse. Then the Inition lights fuse went a few days after and the cr would not start. I replaced that with a like for like 10 amp and car started but now the Drivers airbag light stays permanantly on. The start fuse went again the next day. Replaced that with a 15 amp but I think i have a short somewhere around the ignition and steering as the first time the start fuse, I heard the fuse go as I started the attempted to start the car. Also when the interior light fuse went for the second time, it happened whilst i was driving. The interior light was set to the permanently on position but the lights weren't on and whilst I was turning the steering wheel it came on briefly then it went of and when I checked the fuse had gone. Also importantly......... before fuses started going...a couple of times, I had instances where the car remained on after parking, switching off the ignition and pulling out the key. It would only switch off when I turned the steering wheel.

I know I have a problem but was hoping to get some experienced diagnosis/knowledge as what the issue may be, info from others that may have experienced similar, what was to resolution and outcome etc? Please Help? Will a VAGCOM be able to indicate what the issues are? Will I need a new ignition and probably coding....what are the costs of that?

I'm worried..

You probably already know this but it is not advisable to replace fuses with one of a higher rating as this can cause a fire in the wiring or the component the fuse is there to protect.

Yeh, I know and I have since replaced with the correct amp.

Help please?
